Abstract Women’s empowerment is a serious problems worldwide, with Self-Help Groups (SHGs) rising as effectual instruments for development economic and social progression among marginalized women. This study examines the impact of SHGs on women’s empowerment in the Ranchi district of Jharkhand, India. Utilizing a sample size of 70 women from seven distinct SHGs, the research employs a random selection method to gather quantitative data on income levels before and after SHG participation. The findings indicate a considerable increase in income levels postmembership, with a distinguished shift from non-earning or low-earning categories to higher income brackets. Additionally, SHGs have considerably improved women’s self-reliance, confidence, and social engagement, contributing to the reduction of gender-based issues such as
domestic violence and dowry practices. The study concludes that SHGs play an essential role in integrating women into economic and decision-making processes, thereby promoting broader social change and community development in Ranchi.
